I haven't said anything about how your messages were stored
on some server.  But now you mention it, the early messages might
well have been transliterated from Latin1 to utf-8 (and stored
that way), and since they weren't intended to be in Latin1, they got
turned into a mess.  Why would they be transliterated with the
incorrect assumption that they were in Latin1?  Probably a default
assumption for messages with no designated charset.  (Those early
messages did not have "charset=" in their headers.)

Your later messages did have charset designations in the headers,
either as koi8 or utf-8, and both come out looking like Cyrillic
on my system.
